Cusp Gallery & Lifestyle

The word CUSP is derived from two different aspects: the first 2 letters of the first and last name of artist and owner Curtis Speer and the second referring to an “emerging” artist. The word emerging always felt like a struggle, but CUSP has the power to denote the artist has done the work and is ready to take that leap of faith. ​

The MISSION of CUSP GALLERY is to give artists a space and an opportunity to exhibit their work. Twice a year, CUSP has opened the doors to vetted artists to give them that opportunity. To earn that spot in the gallery, the artist must prove that they are willing to hustle to excel and the gallery will help guide them through the process of putting together a show. With that said, that hustle includes knowing how they want their work displayed (framing, lighting, etc.), planning the layout of the gallery, hanging their work, promoting the exhibit, planning an opening reception and all the other aspects of exhibiting, all while being coached.
